Real Madrid vs. Copenhagen This is the biggest certainty according to the bookies, since Barcelona’s opponents a few seasons back were the biggest pre-match priced team in Champions League history! Best match odds: · Real Madrid - 1/12 Ladbrokes · Draw – 14/1 BetVictor · Copenhagen – 35/1 BetVictor Where do we begin with this one, will it be a goal rush from the home side, or can the away side nick a goal? The best price for both teams to score is 23/17 and as skinny as even money for both to score representing no value whatsoever. Ronaldo is just 2/9 to net anytime in 90 minutes, which is crazy, but not as crazy as seeing five different Real Madrid players odds on to score! This is a difficult one to call, but will there be three or more goals in the second half? Betway go 6/4 for fewer than 2.5 second half goals. Anyone thinking Real will breeze this and see an emulation of their first Champions League game should leave this alone. However, at the price quoted is too big to ignore in our opinion and bookmakers are totally disrespecting the same away side that held Juventus to a score draw. Out of interest, anyone thinking Copenhagen can pocket four or more corners will get 5/4 with Bet365. Recommendation: · Under 2.5 second half goals – 6/4 Betway Juventus vs. Galatasaray After Champions League day one, where Real Madrid hovered the Turkish side aside go to the Italian side, which were held away in Denmark last time out. Best match odds: · Juventus – 3/10 Ladbrokes · Draw – 5/1 BetVictor · Galatasaray – 12/1 Bet365 Juventus are unbeaten in the form guide of the last six matches, with the Turkish side without a win in the last five drawing the last four domestically. Juventus have won the last three and have won all three by a one goal margin. The Turkish side have scored in all but one of the last six, which was without a goal in the match. Juventus in hindsight have a similar record, having won their last game to nil. The pre-match odds are not a bet to consider but Ladbrokes offer 21/20 that both teams score. The Turkish side have to start scoring more goals and Juventus will be their only competitor for the other qualification spot, if not Copenhagen if they do the unlikely in Spain. Recommendation: · Both teams to score – 21/20 Ladbrokes Bayer Leverkusen vs. Real Sociedad The credible German side play the Spanish side, which drew with Sevilla at the weekend. Best match odds: · Leverkusen – 3/4 Paddy Power · Draw – 29/10 BetVictor · Sociedad – 17/4 Bet365 The matches involving Leverkusen in the last six games in all competition have seen a total of twenty-five goals in the last six, averaging over four goals per game. In Spain, Sociedad’s games have seen twelve goals in six games, equalling exactly two goals average per game. Yes, if you exclude the Barcelona game, makes only seven goals in five matches but lost to Donetsk on match day one! They will really need to attempt to get something out the game and this means scoring goals. Bookies are rather sure both teams will score, with Ladbrokes offering best price 8/11 on the outcome. With the stats in Germany with goals galore, you have to think that Leverkusen are as effective at scoring goals than they are at conceding. Sociedad have the task of responding to the German style of offense being the best defence, with the Spanish engaging in defence being the best offense. Recommendation: · Both teams to score – 8/11 Ladbrokes
